Nicole Fonovich of Nicole Anne Yoga offers a mobile yoga and holistic wellness practice specializing in Advanced Yoga Training, Yoga Nidra, Sound Healing, Restorative Yoga, Holistic Nutrition and Life Coaching. She recommends finding a space in your home that does not have a lot of traffic or noise. The best yoga spaces are sparse and calm. Also, choosing calm colors is key. Paint the walls of your yoga room in a soothing color. Muted cooler tones, warm whites, shades of tan, light green, lavender and light pink are ideal. Lighting is also incredibly important and can have a huge impact on your mood and well-being. If possible, install dimmer switches on overhead lights. Small details can have a huge impact in a

CANDELARIA DESIGN WAS FOUNDED IN 1999 AND IS A WELL KNOWN NAME IN DESIGNING SPECTACULAR HOMES THROUGHOUT ARIZONA AND COAST TO COAST. Collaboration with a client is key at Candelaria Design, as the dedicated team of architects, designers and support staff share a common goal; to offer superior customer service, quality design, and to build friendships along the way. Principal Mark Candelaria takes pride in his innate ability to envision each client’s wants, needs and passion for their personal spaces. He credits his path to success with gaining the insight and knowledge to have found a prestigious place among high-end design firms. “I’ve been in the industry for 40 years, with our business founded over 20 years ago, so we’re in a unique category of experience. Due to that, we work Cat Courtyard

they envision and offer them the best in the style they desire. We have a diverse portfolio, from contemporary to traditional, as we are proud to be a larger firm with an array of talents. While you are getting a team when you choose Candelaria, we are very systemized, and personally get to know each client, each project and each detail, so when you need something, we are all here for you.” Candelaria has enjoyed architecture and design since he was a small child, taking drafting in high school and later gaining acceptance to ASU’s Architecture Program. Personal matters meant redirecting that path, and Candelaria took an exciting opportunity to work for an Architecture Firm instead, later becoming a partner and getting his degree in Business.

OUR TOWN (CONTINUED) Entertaining Area

“I now had a strong business foundation, and at age 39, I went out on my own. I started slow, but quickly grew to a five-person team in six months.” Candelaria Design creates homes that enhance the way people live. Rather than design, build, and move on, Candelaria Design’s team works with each client, and is heavily invested in what is produced. “Building and designing a home is a very personal experience. Our clients become friends with the iron guy, the stucco guy -- your house is special and you want the people working on it to feel it is special as well. It’s that synergistic effort -- the workers in turn will help you if something goes wrong because they are part of the family. Especially with what is going on in the world right now, we really appreciate our Water adds so much to the aesthetic of a home, especially in the dry and rocky environment of the desert.

worldwide design concepts, and, on a visit to Spain, he re-examined the concept of adding water in courtyards as a cooling agent. Courtyards are often wrapped in water to create a vacuum effect; it’s an evaporative process that feels cool and comforting, giving visitors a connection to the earth in a dry environment. Water also lends itself to meditative purposes. The sound of water is soothing on a subconscious level, even when you aren’t honed in on it. “We try to do that with these houses we design. We’re all in a hurry to get through life, but with COVID-19, homeowners are now telling me they can stop and appreciate all the little touches we’ve added in their homes -- they read in the garden, they take in specifics.” The Silverleaf estate featured was created for a couple who owns several cats. It is over 20,000 square feet and was a collaborative effort with Landscape Architect Jeff Berghoff and Builder Schultz Development Corporation. Water features abound on this expansive property including the focal point; a moat.

MOAT:

The owners of this estate didn’t want their cats to

escape or be in danger from local wild animals. During a meeting to discuss options, Candelaria proposed a moat. This moat extends the entire backyard at different levels. The negative edge pool is at house level and spills into the moat three feet down. The moat wall then descends another six feet into the desert and is six feet wide. The moat acts as an organic element amidst a formal setting, as it meanders along the desert.

FIREPIT:

It is truly magical to engage with and experience the

moat, (instead of simply looking down on it), from the gathering spot around the firepit. The view is spectacular, overlooking the golf course. Guests will have water all around them and the fire in front, feeling a keen sense of seclusion.

The pool is accessible through the home’s main level,

and spills into the moat. When you enter the home, you look straight out onto the negative edge pool, with a large cactus acting as a natural compass leading your eyes to the breathtaking backdrop. The home itself is very formal, modeled much like an Italian villa, so the linear and formal reflecting pool mirrors the architecture and layout of the home.

CAT COURTYARD:

Off of the master bedroom wing is a courtyard, created as

a safe haven and tranquil outdoor space for the owners’ cats. This courtyard adds depth and light to the house, with its sparkling reflection pool and trellis for safety and ambiance. w Vie

SPA:

Off the master bedroom, the spa integrates with the far

left end of the moat, and Candelaria notes that all the home’s water elements connect or are engaged with each other.

These were added to bring the sound of water along the

property. Each are formal and hand-carved.

Local Infection Prevention Specialist

ARTICLE STACI HAUK | PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED

Speaks to Nursing Home Safety During a Pandemic IPCWELL IS DEDICATED TO REDUCING THE HARMS AND DEATHS ASSOCIATED WITH INFECTIONS IN ALL HEALTHCARE SETTINGS, WITH A SPECIAL FOCUS ON UNDERSERVED AND UNDER-RESOURCED FACILITIES SUCH AS NURSING HOMES. Healthcare facilities hire IPCWell to evaluate their current infection control program. They then educate front-line workers on evidence-based best practices. Buffy Lloyd-Krejci is an Infection Prevention Specialist at IPCWell and her passion stemmed from her role in the ICU during the H1N1 virus. After obtaining her Doctorate degree in Public Health with a specialization in epidemiology, she began to work with nursing homes and saw the lack of infection prevention control (IPC) in place. “When I learned that there are 380,000 deaths associated with serious infections in nursing homes every year, I knew I had to take action. That’s when I became Board Certified in Infection Control and started what is now IPCWell.”

1. 2. 3.

Data transparency is key. All Centers for Medicare Services (CMS) are required to report COVID-19 data to the CDC. This reporting will enable the facility and governing boards to make informed, data-driven decisions.

Nursing homes need personal protective equipment. IPCWell has partnered with SPH Medical and together we are piloting a solution to get much needed PPE into nursing homes in an affordable and timely manner.

I am advocating for creating a NIIN (Nursing Home Improvement Innovation Network) with the sole purpose of utilizing data to track infections and proactively implement practices that mitigate the harms and deaths associated with infection, creating a safer environment for all.
